i recently bench tested LS2 truck coils and was not impressed. IGN-1As are decent, but im really impressed with factory FC coils which im going to stick with. im looking at using four FC trailling coils with a subaru 4-channel ignitor on my FD

if you look at an FC coil, the big metal piece is the ignitor, which is basically an amplifier for the ECU ignition signal. im planning on running four FC coils, but the factory ignitors take up too much space. you could go with an aftermarket 4-channel ignitor. i happen to have a wrx ignitor laying around

Why not use your FD igniter?


You should be able to get most of the info you need from this, just a few things that would be different on an FD.

i finally tested the FD ignitor tonight, and it seems to have identical performance as the FC ignitor.. same output and saturates at 4.5ms just like FC.

the subaru ignitor seems to put out more current than the factory FC ignitor. i can squeeze another 25% energy out of the FC coil with the subaru ignitor at 4ms
